About TEDx, x = independently organized event

In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TEDx is a program

of local, self-organized events that bring people together

to share a TED-like experience. At a TEDx event, TED Talks

video and live speakers combine to spark deep discussion

and connection. These local, self-organized events are branded TEDx, where x =

independently organized TED event. The TED Conference provides general guidance

for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events are self-organized. (Subject to certain

rules and regulations.)
